Ireland

There are many. Included would be:

The Cliffs of Moher.

The Giants Causeway.

The Spire.

Newgrange.

The Lakes of Killarney.

Glendalough.

The River Shannon.

There are many, many others.

According to the Irish Tourist Board, the distance between Dublin and Cork City is 160 miles or about 257km however the distance to COUNTY Cork from Dublin is 125 miles. By car, you would be driving for the best part of hours. New and higher quality roads, by-passing a lot of the towns on the way, are opening which quicken the journey.

many other answers are correct but when the three-field crop rotation technique was invented the crop of potatoes was the biggest and the most important crop to the Nordic regions and the Brit and European Isles.

Patrick did not drive any animal to Ireland. There is a legend that Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland. However, there never were any snakes in Ireland to drive out. Scientists can find no evidence that snakes have ever lived there as far back as the end of the last ice age - over 10,000 years ago. The term snake probably refers to the pagan gods of the Druids who lived in Ireland at the time of St. Patrick. He converted them to Catholocism so, in a sense, drove the pagan gods (snakes) out of Ireland.

You probably meant county not country. In that case the second smallest county in Ireland is Carlow. If you did mean country, the island of Ireland has the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland on it. The Republic of Ireland is bigger making it the second smallest, and Northern Ireland the smallest.

your question is unclear.....a grandmother in Ireland is your mothers mother or your fathers mother, just like everywhere else in the world.

in the Irish language the word used nowdays is shanmhathair( pronnounced sh-an-whah-air) which literarly translates as "old mother"

The countries to the East of Ireland are Scotland, Wales, England and the Isle of Man. The South of Ireland, across the Atlantic Ocean, is America. To the South, Spain. But over here, we're surrounded by water =)

It is an island on the eastern side of the Atlantic Ocean. As such a lot of weather systems come in from over the Atlantic and they have a lot of rain in them. The amount of rain is one of the reasons that Ireland is so green, and has no deserts or hot and arid regions. Ireland does get a lot of very good weather too.

Ireland has many mountain ranges. Here are just some. The Magillacuddy Reeks, the Dublin Mountains, Wicklow Mountains, the Mourne Mountains, the Sperrins, the Slieve Blooms, the Ox Mountains, the Blue Stack Mountains, the Derryveagh mountains and many others.

Ireland's energy comes primarily from the national electricity company called the ESB. Ireland has natural gas. Some power stations are powered by peat. Ireland does not have its own oil, so it imports it. It does have natural sources of energy, so there are large wind turbines both on and off shore which generates a lot of natural energy through wind farms and also from wave power. This a growing part of the energy production, as new wind farms are being created. Some houses get their energy from solar panels.

Wisconsin is larger than Iowa based both on population and total land area. Iowa is the 30th most populous of the 50 United States as of July 1, 2016 per the U.S. Census Bureau and the 26th largest by total area. Wisconsin is the 23rd largest U.S. state based on total area and the 20th most populous.

The average flight time is 10 hours, 21 minutes.

This is only an approximation and flight times are likely to vary. Your airline will provide you with a flight time when you book a flight.

The population dropped sharply due to death and emigration. More of the population moved towards the eastern side of the country. The majority of the population still lives on the east. The famine still features in Irish history as a major turning point for the country.

Mainly potato but also cabbage in the dish colcannon.

Ireland is divide in two, the Republic of Ireland covers about 80% of the island, while Northern Ireland which is part of the UK covers 20% of the island. Ireland is separated into four provinces; Connacht, Leinster, Munster, and Ulster. The boundries of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland cross through the province of Ulster.

Scientists have found no fossil evidence that snakes ever lived in Ireland. The snakes were symbolic of the pagan gods being worshiped by the Druids. Through his missionary work, Patrick was able to drive these 'snakes' from Ireland.

Yes, Northern Ireland and The Republic of Ireland both are members of the European Union. note from a pedant Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - the others being England, Wales and Scotland. It is the United Kingdom which is a member of the European Union, not Northern Ireland in its own right. Ireland and Britain both joined what was then the European Economic Community, on January 1st 1973.

The visitor to Ireland is immediately impressed by two aspects of the vegetation cover. The first is an impression of intense greenness, the result of the abundant grasses responding to the mild moist air. The second is the relative absence of trees, especially along the western seaboard where strong winds are the main limiting factor to growth. The once extensive oak woodlands of the midlands were cleared over most of the country by the seventeenth century and remain today only as remnants in remote areas. The flora is of more limited variety than elsewhere in Europe but it has some interesting features. In the extreme south- west (Cork/Kerry) there is a vegetation with Mediterranean affinities which includes the Arbutus. The numerous bryophytes and lichens reflect the mildness and high humidity of this part of Ireland. In the Burren in County Clare an Arctic-Alpine flora survives from a colder period in the past.

The term "southern Ireland" is an incorrect term for the Republic of Ireland. The Republic of Ireland uses Euro as its currency. It used to use Irish Punts and pennies but changed to euro on the 1st of January 2002.

the first Europeans came in 1497

Cork - 7500 square kilometres

Kerry - 4807 square kilometres

Tipperary 4305 square kilometres

Clare - 3450 square kilometres

Limerick - 2756 square kilometres

Waterford - 1857 square kilometres

If you're asking what % of the modern Irish population is of English descent, Danish descent, and so forth, here's a good place to start: http://www.eupedia.com/forum/showthread.php?24907-Genetics-of-the-British-and-Irish-people

But since much of the information is of a technical sort, (requiring a fair grounding in the language of human genetics), it'd take quite a bit of study and a fair amount of number crunching to nail down percentages across various lineages.

An estimate is however given which states that roughly one quarter of today's Irish population descends from English stock (paternally). We'll understand how necessarily 'approximate' this has to be because, of course, what it means to be English is itself up for grabs as, yes, they too are an amalgam of peoples in their own right.

Based on the presence or absence of specific genetic markers, (and groups of markers, really), great gains are apparently being made toward clearing all of this up though. So the day may soon come that such questions can be answered with greater ease and confidence.

The Irish Republic is divided into 26 counties: Carlow, Cavan, Clare, Cork, Donegal, Dublin, Galway, Kerry, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Leitrim, Limerick, Longford, Louth, Mayo, Meath, Monaghan, Offaly, Roscommon, Sligo, Tipperary, Waterford, Westmeath, Wexford, and Wicklow. There are also 6 counties in Northern Ireland which are Fermanagh, Antrim, Tyrone, Down, Armagh and Derry.
